I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Computer Science at University of Texas at Ausitn. I received my B.S and M.S in Computer Science and Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET). I am currently working with Prof. Tandy Warnow and Prof. Joydeep Ghosh on estimating species trees from gene trees. I am interested in developing novel algorithmic approaches to solve different discrete optimization problems on species tree estimation, considering gene duplications and losses, deep coalescences, horizontal gene transfers etc.
